DANGER! The mower decks may drop suddenly if there is air in the
system. Clear the area before proceeding.
DANGER! The lift rams all share the same hydraulic circuit. The rear
deck will always lift first but either the left or right deck may follow. A deck
may partially lift then drop again before continuing. Keep well clear during
lifting and lowering operations.
1. Standard machines:
a. Ensure the area is clear of all bystanders, especially children.
b. Start the tractor engine. Do not engage the PTO.
c. If the mower decks are in the transport position:
i. Ensure there is sufficient room to lower them to the ground.
ii. Operate the auxiliary hydraulic control to raise the decks. The decks should move slightly.
iii. Pull on the transport lock release rope and maintain pressure.
iv. Operate the hydraulic control to lower the mower decks to the ground.
d. If the mower decks are already lowered to the operating position:
i. Operate the auxiliary hydraulic control to raise the decks.
ii. The mower decks will rise and lock into the transport position.
iii. Use the transport lock release rope as above to lower the decks again.
e. Repeat these steps two or three times to purge any air from the system.
2. Machines with Remote Unlock options:
a. Ensure the area is clear of all bystanders, especially children.
b. Start the tractor engine. Do not engage the PTO.

d. If the mower decks are in the transport position:
i. Ensure there is sufficient room to lower them to the ground. ii. Operate the auxiliary
hydraulic control to raise the decks. iii. The decks should move slightly. iv. Press and hold
the transport lock button on the Remote Unlock control unit for at least 2 seconds to
allow the actuator to operate.

12c. Other Checks.
1. Check tail light operation:
a. Have an observer check that the tail, indicator and brake lights all operate correctly.
2. Observe driveshaft angles:
a. Before engaging the PTO, experiment with some sharp turns to understand situations
where the driveshaft may have to operate at extreme angles.
IMPORTANT! Be particularly aware when reversing that the mower
may jack-knife to a much greater angle than when driving forwards. This
will cause permanent damage to the driveshaft CV joint even if the PTO
is not engaged.
